Alhaji Sa\u2019ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto and President General, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), has told Nigerians to vote for leaders with reputable character in the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

Alhaji Sa\u2019ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto and President General, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), has told Nigerians to vote for leaders with reputable character in the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

Abubakar made the call on Thursday while addressing participants at the 29th regular meeting of the National Council on Water Resources (NCWR) in Sokoto.<\/p>\n

The Sultan<\/a> said as the general elections were approaching Nigerians needed to use their votes wisely.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians need to think and rethink who they are casting their votes to.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not consider the religious or ethnic backgrounds of anybody we are voting for but Nigeria first.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country should be our priority above any thing and not voting any person who may worsen our present challenges,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

Abubakar added that for Nigeria to progress as a nation, Nigerians needed to put ethnicity aside and face the reality.<\/p>\n

The Sultan said: \u201dOur country is far better than many countries of the world in terms of security.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, we should continue to support and appreciate our country and leaders with prayers in order to be able to address our challenges.<\/p>\n

Abubakar appreciated the Federal Government, the Minister of Water Resources and the officials of the ministry for choosing Sokoto State to hold the council meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
